How to use ZoaZen Incense Paper correctly

1. Prepare a fireproof surface

Use a stable, non-combustible bowl that safely catches embers and ash. Suitable options can be found with the ZoaZen Zen Holder, the Ground Holder, and in the collection Incense Holders and Bowls.

2. Detach paper

Take a paper according to the product instructions. Some incense papers can be inscribed with a short thought or intention before lighting.

3. Light briefly and extinguish flame

Hold a corner briefly to a flame. Extinguish the open flame completely and immediately place the glowing paper on the prepared surface.

4. Consciously dose smoke

Remain in the room throughout the entire process. Ventilate appropriately and avoid unnecessarily high smoke concentration.

5. Fully control embers

Only leave the spot when the paper has completely extinguished and no embers remain.

Incense Paper or Incense Sticks?

Incense paper is suitable for a shorter, clearly defined fragrance moment. Incense sticks usually smolder longer and diffuse the scent over a longer period. For an overview of varieties, see the article ZoaZen Incense Sticks Compared.

• Never leave flame and embers unattended.
• Keep away from paper, textiles, plants, and other flammable materials.
